Spectacular: Five New Clinton TV Ads in PA

[OzarkDem]

Great new set of ads Clinton is unveiling this week in PA with endorsements, her message about the economy, jobs and health care and her family roots in Scranton.

Go Hillary!

On edit, due to technical difficulties fifth ad is linked in post below

[PBS Poll-435]

18. Those were great.

How long until we start seeing demands for Michael Nutter's impeachment?

[OzarkDem]

55. He has a lot of courage

to stand up for the candidate he thinks is best. Like Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, it says a lot.

[PBS Poll-435]

64. I know....

I can imagine the pressure.

[SoCalDem]

5. math?

:rofl:

sorry couldn't resist

[OzarkDem]

8. Reading?

Did you see my post below or are you unable to comprehend English?

:rofl:

Try getting a job, ok?

[SoCalDem]

11. oooh.. touchy

:hi:

I don't need to work anymore..I'll let someone else have the job I might have taken :)

But thanks for the kind thoughts:)

[OzarkDem]

19. Nothing kind in those thoughts

:hi:

[SoCalDem]

22. Don't I know it

ironic humor is a staple of mine :)

whatever floats your boat:)

[OzarkDem]

40. DU Obama supporters have made their own choices

The decision by many (not all) of them to use an unusually personal, insulting, right wing, slash and burn style on DU to support their candidate has cost them the respect of fellow Clinton supporters.

I can't speak for others, but I've lost a great deal of respect after seeing the true character of many who engage in these juvenile tactics and that opinion is highly unlikely to change after the primaries.

[dionysus]

52. try looking in the mirror. hypocrite

[cali]

61. no shit.

unbelievable hypocrisy.

[Saturday]

74. Applause!!! nt

[Orsino]

41. So much hate.

:-(

[OzarkDem]

43. Lack of respect

I don't waste my time hating people, but I turn off those I have no respect for.

Hate is for Obama / GOP supporters. It suits them well.

[democrattotheend]

75. Calling us too stupid to read sounds pretty hateful to me

[mckeown1128]

2. She has enough money to run them... about once each. nt

[SoCalDem]

4. Who knew this guy supported her

[redqueen]

13. Is that a joke?

Oh nevermind I see it... "get it done". :P

[quantass]

6. Right on queue -- Obama campiagn's strategy is working and causing Hillary to finally use her money

which will haunt her in the next primaries.....its a clever plan by Obama....i can understand Hillary's lackluster effort before because of her ego that she had a large lead but with Obama's intelligent campaigning she is now forced to use her tiny cash, endangering her chances for future contests...

[SoCalDem]

10. I hope she's paying CASH for stuff in PA..

There's already a long line of people waiting to get paid for their help to her campaign.. It's doubly galling when it happens in distressed states, where those businesspeople are relying on getting paid, so THEY can pay their workers..

C'mon, H...pay up front..show us you can manage money :)

[quantass]

47. I frogot about that...so this is an even tougher situation for her.

[democrattotheend]

7. I have to say, I really like the Scranton one with the baby pictures

I saw it on the news last night and I really liked it. I love how at the end it morphs from the little girl to the grown woman running for president. I have to admit, for a few seconds, that ad made me almost want to see her win. Very powerful.

[LisaM]

14. I'm glad you felt that. I think sometimes, in all the rhetoric,

People are losing track of the fact that her campaign is groundbreaking in its own way.

I would love to hear, in my lifetime, the phrase "Madame President". I would probably burst into tears.

Heck, when the field was narrowed to just Obama and Clinton, and they walked out together in that debate, I did tear up. I wish there wasn't so much rancor. I would love to recapture that moment again. It sounds as if that ad accomplished that, to a degree.

Together, they would be VERY effective. It would be kind of fun if it was Obama/Hillary (or vice versa) vs. McCain and Rice. How strange and wonderful that would be. People would really have to throw aside their intrenchments about race and sex and actually vote for policy.

[democrattotheend]

21. I would love to hear "Madam President" too

And that's the main reason why I would still be excited to vote for her even though I prefer Obama. Sometimes as a woman I even feel guilty for not supporting her.

Either way we have the chance to make history this year, and I hope we don't blow it by getting so caught up in our candidates that we can't put aside our resentment and work our asses off for the eventual nominee once we have one.

[redqueen]

30. Helloooooo? Does it mention issues at all?

Cause it would be pretty freakin sad if a commercial that only showed the candidate got people so emotionally worked up that they couldn't see past gender and decided to vote for her cause the ad was just so darn good at pulling heartstrings.

[PBS Poll-435]

51. Cuz every ad should required you to...

Grab your legal pad and take notes. If there is any "wonkish" policy jargon that you don't understand, then you should remember to thoroughly research it later. Also, all statistics that are foot-noted should be verified.

Or maybe, an ad is just an ad?

[redqueen]

57. I never said that... don't be so dramatic.

:)

I'm just thinking... you know... this is supposedly a "hardcore" Obama supporter... but she was nearly swayed by sentimentality?

It's just... odd. That's all. :hi:

[PBS Poll-435]

I agree...

Maybe she was just being ***dramatic***

:yoiks:

[Hepburn]

34. It's "madam." n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

42. What about "madham"?

Like a classy version of Rodham, right? :think:

[Hepburn]

70. LOL...good one! n/t

[redqueen]

16. Does it mention issues?

[PBS Poll-435]

29. Just Yours!

:P

[redqueen]

31. Get that apostrophe outta there.

:P

[PBS Poll-435]

35. And down the memory hole it goes...

:p

[redqueen]

44. I have it cached!

And just for that egregious error (which I found so offensive that I cannot bear to share this board with you any longer)... I have submitted your username to my overlords for inclusion on *cue scary music* The List.

You know, that "secret" List... the one we fiendishly clever Obama supporters circulate to use our awesome superpowers to bait people into being mean so we can get them banned! :evilgrin:

You better watch your punctuation from here on out! :P

[PBS Poll-435]

62. I know nothing that I can say will make you change your mind...

Oh, and you never said anything about spelling!



That errir whaz egreachious? "Secrit" listes r fer meen peple. Wy dew yu whant pelpe bannd?

[redqueen]

71. Hehehe...

Spelling, punctuation, usage / grammar... all of this is very, very important! Especially on message boards!

Murka will not be safe until we have purged the bad spellers / punctuators from teh internets!


:P

[democrattotheend]

39. Not all of Obama's do either

The ones with his grandmother don't really mention issues. It's a feel good ad, but they can be effective.

[redqueen]

46. Huh? It's not a contest!

:rofl:

I'm just trying to figure out this ad that so swayed you... so apparently the answer is no, it didn't.

Okie dokie!

[nxylas]

49. It reminded me of the ads Edwards ran here in SC

That tactic of stressing his local roots didn't work very well for him here. It probably won't hurt her, but I don't know how much good it will do either. I thought the "Falling Through" one was the most convincing.

[OzarkDem]

67. Its a good ad

and likely to appeal to women voters, too.

[democrattotheend]

72. Definitely

It appealed to the feminist in me, the part that really wants to see a woman president. I am young and optimistic that I will see a woman president even if it does not happen this year, but I can understand why some older women are drawn to her candidacy because they want to see a woman president in their lifetime, and I respect that. My grandmother supports Obama but says that a lot of the women she talks to at their retirement community feel that way. This ad does a good job at tugging at women's heartstrings, and I would not be surprised if it brings some women who were thinking about voting for Obama back to her camp.

[DefenseLawyer]

9. I doubt the HRC campaign thinks it is spectacular

to have to be running ads in a state they had locked up a few weeks ago.

[Hepburn]

38. Nothing like playing "catch-up" when one supposedly is ahead. n/t

[redqueen]

12. "For Obama supporters, below means: LOOK DOWN"

Awwww... aren't you *special*.

[OzarkDem]

20. Many of you have a problem with that

So I thought I would help the reading disabled.

[redqueen]

24. Sure thing buddy.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to rationalize your BS, you just go right on ahead and do it.

[Lucky 13]

36. Sorry. You must have us confused with Hillary supporters.

Obamatrons are the more educated group, remember?

[SeaLyons]

15. Great!!

Thanks OzarkDem.

Go Hillary!!

:kick:

[democrattotheend]

17. I posted something nice about your ads. Why do you have to insult me

by implying that I, along with my fellow Obama supporters, are too stupid to understand the meaning of the word "below"?

[redqueen]

23. Because Obama's supporters are so mean...

see? Perfect logic.

:crazy:

[Forkboy]

27. We'll now see three more threads about how vicious they are for responding.

[redqueen]

33. Well it's all our fault, really.

I'm sure... somehow... or it's just different when they do it...

Yeeeeah... that's the ticket! It's different! :P

[OzarkDem]

48. It refers to Red Queen's post

just below the OP.

[redqueen]

53. .

:spray:

But it's OTHERS who have reading comprehension problems, right?!

Man... this forum delivers like DOMINOS! :rofl:


On edit, I should be kind and spell it out: that wasn't me. Check the username. :hi:

[democrattotheend]

77. So why say "Obama supporters"?

Why attack all of us because of something one Obama supporter said?

[AllentownJake]

25. 6 media markets

To buy time on.quite an expensive firewall..At least the phone isn't ringing in any of them.

[JayFredMuggs]

26. If anyone thinks the Scranton advertisement is "SPECTACUAR"

Baby pictures of a summer vacationing place, sorry, not too convincing that she should be President because she fondly remembers childhood vacations in PA.

[democrattotheend]

32. Sorry, but I thought it was an effective ad

It appealed to the feminist in me and for a split second it made me want to see her win. Anyone who knows what a hardcore Obama supporter I am knows how effective that ad must have been if I am saying that it made me want to vote for her.

[redqueen]

37. Uh huh.

You aren't so hardcore as you would have us believe, if you can be so swayed by nothing but sentimentality.

[Symarip]

63. We all know what it takes to sway Obama folks like me one way

Or the other:

PONIES!!

I think I'm going to OD on all this Hope and Change I'm drunk on.

[democrattotheend]

68. I didn't say I now want to vote for her!

Just that it made me remember for a split second how proud I'd be to have a woman president. Besides, I already voted for Obama and would do so a thousand times over if I could. And I'm hardcore enough to spend just about every weekend driving up to Philadelphia to volunteer. I just don't believe attacking everything Clinton does is necessarily the best way to advocate for him.

[redqueen]

78. Hehehe... just bustin on ya...

And thanks for your efforts in PA! :D

This is no place for advocacy IMO... this place is a frickin nuthouse. :P

[Saturday]

79. Well said and thank you for being a 'reasonable' Obama supporter. nt

[snooper2]

58. I watched that ad...

The first thing that came across my mind, "is that really her as a little girl in the video, or did they lift it from somewhere"...

But I'm jaded :evilgrin:



GOBAMA

[BootinUp]

28. something to get semi-excited about, are they on the air? nt

[OzarkDem]

65. Yes!

[Ichingcarpenter]

45. "Get it Done" video misspells communities at frame :20

They spell it comunities.

[redqueen]

50. .

I'm turning into Avril Incandenza... I can feel it.

[Barack_America]

54. And, yes, the Philly media has picked up on this...

56. They could afford the other "M" if Mark Penn wasn't around.

That guy is getting burned in the British press, too. :D

76. Perhaps they should invest in a dictionary?

:shrug:

[BornBlue]

82. Or at the very least,

Spell check, I mean we have it here right? Not to mention, how many proof readers probably missed that.

[Saturday]

66. Thanks, that's great to see. nt

[Edgewater_Joe]

69. And These Change The FACT That She Has LOST Because ...

... oh, they don't change the FACT that she has LOST at all.

They just help preventing Obama from going after McSame.

Thanks, Hillbots, for continuing to work to make John McSame the President in 2009.

[PBS Poll-435]

73. It it is a FACT that she has LOST and that he has WON,

Then why is he even campaigning any more? Why doesn't he just take the spring off?

[Diane R]

80. I hope they were paid for up front.
